I'm sure I've seen that musical. Ok; let's discard the obvious, and concentrate on the important. It's FASHION! They're all wearing fashionable dresses, and shouldn't every force of archers be dressed that way? Of course they should!
Colour of image is mostly orange and blue; so clearly the card is green for contrast.
Green is the colour of envy - and that's not a word Magic has previously used! (Whee! Free association is a fun mad thing!)
Ok, cool - what should this card actually do? "When creatures fight, the prettiest wins" is... probably a bit too Kangaroo Court even for me. Keeping that as flavour text though.
... can't think of anything.
Ok; internet save me now! ... Envy is a class of boat? Well, learn something new. But I don't think that helps me.
Come on, brain, think. What does "Enchanted creature has Envy" do? Well, envy makes people small and petty, it makes them snipe other people... (Snip! Archers! ... but green shouldn't usually get pingers. Ah; but green gets OTHER forms of ping, and other archer effects. So, and done.)
I like it :)
Excellent. Though, I should point out that green already had Orochi Ranger. Perhaps these should be 1/3?
Yeah' probably. Let's at least make them not strictly worse. And subtly tweak the flavourtext too.
